And, in comparison with many States of greater territory, it has long stretches a! wilderness country. Those who have been to: Katahdin want to go again. Those WhQ haven't been often express a longing to get at least a. glimpse of that section. But even most of those who havP- been t.lcar or on Katahdin know no mote about the country to its north than they could gain from their summit viewpoint. An exception is Myron H. Avery, captain, USNR, a Lubee 'fl,ative who is the State's leading authority on Katahdin and its environs and who has been a prolific writer on the subject. Herewith is the first of two arti!"les by Capt. A very which he entitles '"rhe Traveler, Two Decades-Random Notes." April 9· MAGNIFICENT SCENERY GREETS 11 THE TRA\£LER11 REGION EXPLORER This is the second and concluding pa:ut of an article by Myron H. Avery of Lubec, Captain, U. S. N. R., which he has titled "The Traveler-Two Decades, Random Notes." Capt. Avery has familiarized himself with the Katahdii). area. While doing this, he has done much exploring in its environs. Principally through his interest and energy, the various organizations which maintain the. 4pp,alachian Trail from Mt. Katahdin in Maine to Mt.

BRENNAN RICHARD E. BARRINGER GOVERNOR April 8, 1986 DIRECTOR The Honorable Members 112th Maine Legislature State House Augusta, Maine 04333 Dear Legislator, I am very pleased to transmit to you this report on Uncut Timber Stands and Unique Alpine areas on State lands in Maine. In 1983, the Maine Legislature directed the State Planning Office to inventory State-owned lands for forested areas that had never been harvested, as well as for unique alpine areas. We have reviewed past studies and conducted additional field work in the Mahoosuc Mountains, the Bigelow Preserve, Baxter State Park, and T.15 R.9, those public lands with higher elevations. We conclude that the State of Maine owns and manages for conservation the best areas of alpine vegetation in the State of Maine, but owns very few of the truly "old-growth" forests. More detailed studies of State-owned alpine and old-growth areas, upon which this report is based, are available upon request. The staff of the State Planning Office and the Critical Areas Program are most grateful for this opportunity to be of service to you and to the people of Maine.

  • Appalachian National Scenic Trail Resource Management Plan Table of Contents
    Appalachian National Scenic Trail Resource Management Plan – September 2008 – Recommended: Casey Reese, Interdisciplinary Physical Scientist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Kent Schwarzkopf, Natural Resource Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Sarah Bransom, Environmental Protection Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: David N. Startzell, Executive Director, Appalachian Trail Conference Approved: Pamela Underhill, Park Manager, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Concur: Chris Jarvi, Associate Director, Partnerships, Interpretation and Education, Volunteers, and Outdoor Recreation Foreword: Purpose of the Resource Management Plan The purpose of this plan – the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan – is to document the Appalachian National Scenic Trail’s natural and cultural resources and describe and set priorities for management, monitoring, and research programs to ensure that these resources are properly protected and cared for. This plan is intended to provide a medium-range, 10-year strategy to guide resource management activities conducted by the Appalachian Trail Park Office and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (and other partners who wish to participate) for the next decade. It is further intended to establish priorities for funding projects and programs to manage and protect the Trail’s natural and cultural resources. In some cases, this plan recognizes and identifies the need for preparation of future action plans to deal with specific resource management issues. These future plans will be tiered to this document. Management objectives outlined in the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan are consistent with the Appalachian Trail Comprehensive Plan (1981, re-affirmed 1987), the Appalachian Trail Statement of Significance (2000), and the Appalachian Trail Strategic Plan (2001, updated 2005). These objectives also are based on the resource protection mandates stated in the NPS Organic Act of 1916 and the Trail’s enabling legislation, the National Trails System Act.

It is realized that this guide is by no means com­ plete. When it is realized that Maine has ten mountains over 4,000 feet high and around one hundred over 3,000 feet high, to­ gether with those hundreds under 3,000, one can realize that it is almost impossible to put forth a complete guide. Then too, many of Maine’s mountain peaks are inaccessible. The object of this mountain booklet is to give the climber directions for getting to those accessible peaks, and to give him some idea about the trail and the climb. We have purposely included a few mountain peaks that are some­ what inaccessible, also some of the lower mountains for the inex­ perienced. We have tried our best to get this information absolutely correct, but we realize there may be some errors in the data.
